How far in advance should I book?

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly if you’re planning to travel during peak periods such as school holidays, bank holidays or the summer months.


Campervan availability can fill up quickly, especially for popular locations and larger vans.


For peak season travel, booking 3-6 months in advance is advisable where possible. For quieter periods, you may find availability closer to your travel dates.

If your dates are flexible, you may have more options available.


To check availability, simply head to the Hire page, enter your location and travel dates, and explore the campervans available for your chosen timeframe.
